It’s where our announc- ers keep the station on the air, and where our local music hosts do their work. It’s also where most live musical performance at the station hap- pens. For the past 20 years, that meant musicians crowding into Zeb Early & Will Magid on Fog City Blues narrow spaces behind the micro- phones, or our hosts craning their necks to speak with their perform- ing guests. Now, thanks to renovations that have upgraded our equipment and reorganized the space, Studio A is far more welcoming for live musical performance. The result is more live music at KALW than ever. With the advent of our refur- bished studios, we are also reviv- ing a Saturday afternoon tradition: KALW’s On-Air Folk Festival. Five hours of live music ranging from traditional reels, jigs and waltzes to Hawaiian melodies to bluegrass. Plus, a special appearance by long- time KALW announcer Joe Burke.
